Yes, they were color coded correctly which is what eventually caught my eye. This got me thinking, what if I actually pumped gasoline into the tank? I know better to try to start it, assuming I've realized my mistake, but what next? Has anyone carried through with this terrible mistake? What happens if you DID start it after pumping gasoline?
Depends on the amount, daughter caught the gas jockey here in Oregon after he pumped about a 1/2 gal in the tank, finished the fill with Diesel no harm no foul 34 gal. tank.
Much more than that and I would have had the tank drained.
